"Raided"? Is that a reference to Firefight? 'Cause I've not yet read that.

Huh. I'd forgotten that part. Anyway, it's not the cheeseburger.

None of the guesses I can understand are it. What's this about a cheeseburger?

Son of worthy rising He studies a mystic art Well-known by many people His stardom chokes his heart

The protagonist(s) of Infinity Blade?

Um... Lightsong, maybe?

Kredik Shaw? On a more serious note, Urithuru?

Hurrah! That is correct. Now it's your turn.

Neither of those, but that's quite a defense behind the Lightsong guess, Landis. I give a hint or add a line, if someone thinks I should.

None of those people.

Nope.

Spike a Lifeless with two Kandra Blessings of Presence. Profit?

Neither.

Not Kaladin.

Betrayer, Hero, and Breaker of Tradition Bitter now but still loves a mission (I hope this isn't too vague. I'll try and refine it some if it is.)

And this is what happens when everyone has Finals at about the same time. Decrease the friction on your writing implement so that you only leave indentations in the paper but no marks. Lash the paper downward about 40 times to keep the paper from moving. Lash the desk upward to keep the paper from moving. Use a Reverse Lashing on the ceiling and giggle as everyone's tests float upward.

This all depends on whether soulcasting is instantaneous over the entire object or gradual but very fast.

@KillerSquirrel, Cadmium Yeah, I see your point of view, there. I can't say I'm particularly leaning either way on this one (anymore), since I've seen good arguments on both sides. Yeah, I doubt this as well. Hoid seems to have quite a sense of humor, but he also seems to have a good sense for when things are important and when they aren't. I doubt he'd create a religion as a joke (assuming the intention was that anyone would actually believe in it).

Interesting... So perhaps it really would be fairly useless except to a full feruchemist or someone with access to other systems.

I don't know whether I've already replied to this, but I think Feruchemical steel-Allomantic nicrosil would be pretty chill. After seeing Paalm's feats with just Feruchemical steel, I imagine a skilled Twinborn could use Feruchemical steel to correctly time a Nicrosil burn in order to use the enemy's power(s) against them. Also, while Feruchemical nicrosil would be most useful to a Fullborn (Mistborn and Feruchemist), presumably it would also allow a Twinborn to store the investiture from their Allomantic power and more precisely moderate the use of that investiture (theoretically allowing a prepared Twinborn to burn more powerfully than an Allomantic nicrosil-boosted misting.

This is wonderful news. I never would've considered the reversible thing possible, but once again (as so often in his fiction) Sanderson has one-upped our expectations. For the record, this is total support for reversible soonie pups.

Also, they don't require Intent or a specific alloy or even knowledge of Scadrial...

That's fair.

Well, if you can place a spike anywhere with negligible granting effect, presumably that would work with stealing as well. So you could slowly rip apart people's souls...
